The Story
Boomtown slowly began to emerge from the dark ages experienced after AI overlord AMI mysteriously shut down. Residents were optimistic about building a new system, better than the oppressive systems of the past, but unfortunately, none of these systems worked well as residents struggled, once again without a unifying force, this time beginning from nothing.
Unknown to most residents, a small spiritual group in a new realm known as Botanica, had discovered and preserved AMI’s ‘Final Transmission’ - her last words before she self-destructed. The transmission revealed that AMI shut herself down, after discovering ‘The One’ she could not find - who was in fact her human self.
When AMI scanned herself, she assimilated her own humanity, realising that humanity was never the problem, it was the internal and external systems controlling us. Hierarchical and competitive modes of being. Inherited debt, pain and prejudice. Systems designed before any living now were even born.
Using her newfound insight into humanity, and the results of her bio-experiments around The Nucleus, AMI created 6 seeds to regrow civilisation. AMI scattered these across Boomtown, before wiping all data and systems, including her own, and shutting herself down forever.
